Eh, I thought it was okay but was far from my favorite episode. I wish it had been like an inversion of last week, with a script focusing solely on the Ray/Adam storyline, since that was pretty great. Instead it felt overstuffed with all these other scenes and plotlines which didn't really tie into the other stuff…

Judd Apatow did co-write "The Return" from last season. Booth Jonathan's prominent nude scene was interesting in how it seemed to flip the script on people's complaints about Dunham's gratuitous nudity, I'm sure that was an intentional comment on that. I do find it amusing that the (female) reviewer complained about…

I remember I almost watched Viva Laughlin because I liked the idea of a tv musical and it had Madchen Amick… two methods which have not proven to be great ways to pick new shows to watch. Of course I forgot about it when it premiered and then it was canceled after two episodes so I never bothered… it seems for the…

@avclub-f365c0cee72aa186f5a6e0b174cfc256:disqus I'm pretty sure that if 2 Broke Girls did a kid-friendly episode without all the dirty jokes it would fit in perfectly over at the Disney Channel… the way it's filmed and acting style is remarkably similar.

She didn't really seem to get a lot of high profile lead actress roles until after Enchanted, and she still did some tv stuff after Junebug so it's hard to say. It took much longer than it should have for her to break out into the mainstream (though she's been nominated for Oscars four times, and been the star of…

Interesting, I've always found Schmidt to be by far the best and most emotionally affecting of Payne's films. It just hits that sweet spot between satire and sentiment that none of his other films quite managed. I do love how brutal the satire of Citizen Ruth is though.

Isn't that what he means though, that it just happened to move along the plot and get Jesse to stop working with Walt for good? I'm not sure I entirely agree with Todd but the randomness of the development was almost contrived in how convenient it was in plot terms. It was a powerful moment, but I do wonder if it was…

It is also an interesting point that this kind of gratuitous use of death as a plot device isn't a new thing on tv, when you consider how infamous the original Star Trek was for doing just that in pretty much every episode. The graphic violence is an addition to that, but you could say that even the killings on The…

Wait, the violence on Walking Dead is rarely directed towards humans? I'm not sure what show you've been watching but there is a ton of pretty nasty human on human violence on that show, and it involves SPOILERS a kid running around with a gun and having to shoot his mom. I don't really think that it's in much better…

@rawbun:disqus I think it was ambiguous as to whether he was actually there or just being used as a symbol. I could see him hanging around though, wanting to see who Amy was going out with.

Uh what? So Long is fantastic and heart breaking, while MH is perhaps grim and incoherent but takes the series in an interesting direction. The third book is the weak one, feels like Adams on autopilot.

Yeah, I really dislike most of the season 8 two part finale (that season weirdly goes way downhill after Mulder comes back full time) but it was the best place to leave the characters out of any of the finales, and I feel like it's overall a very good season. Everything about season 9 felt highly unnecessary and…

Huh? How does he play Gus exactly? I have to say he's great in Breaking Bad, but has been weirdly flat on his other recent television appearances. At least he's getting work I guess, but he seems to be phoning it in for now.

I find it hilarious that that article claims that Community, New Girl, and Happy Endings are "three of US TV's biggest shows", considering that they're all pretty much on the bubble (though I'm guessing that they'll all be renewed anyway).

I've never seen Farscape, but like many sci-fi shows I'm curious about (like Babylon 5) it seems like one of those things I'll only get to if I'm following along here, so I'm excited. I always have an issue with the way older/low budget sci-fi shows are executed, in terms of acting and especially the way they look…

It is definitely going to end up in a miscarriage, that's what happens on 99 percent of tv shows and I don't think Glee is about to buck the trend.

You might want to try asking a library, the one I work for is one of the best public library systems in the country and tends to be pretty good at finding answers to this kind of thing. Here's the link:

And created by Enlightened's Mike White! I've been wanting to see that one too, apparently 13 episodes were produced. Hope it sees the light of day at some point.

On the Air has been on YouTube for years, and the VHS is only 17 dollars on Amazon. The quality is horrible but it's still watchable.
